STREETS OF SHAME

Verse 1
And as I walk
The streets of shame
Where the law is bought
And love’s a game
I see your face
In every crowd
I hear your voice
Soft not loud
You come to me
Though you’re gone
Tell me I must carry on
The streets of shame

Verse 2
And as I hear
The voice of shame
On every street
On every train
I see the words
Shout out to me
We’re the law
You’re not free
I hear you whisper
In my ear
Just be brave
We’ll conquer fear
On the streets of shame

SUN AND SAND

Verse 1
Sun and sand
And sex and sea
That is all
I want to see
Take me where
The sun will shine
And I’ll have
A real good time

Chorus
Sun and sand
And sex and sea
Sun and sand
And sex and sea

Verse 2
Sun and sand
And sex and sea
Won’t you please
Dance with me
Dance with me
Hold me tight
Take me back
With you tonight

Verse 3
Sun and sand
And sex and sea
It just seems
Like heaven to me
Cut me off
And leave me here
I’ll rough it in
The sex and beer

SUNNY DAY SONG

Song for the day
You don’t go away
Song for the way
I love you

Verse 2
This is my early morn song
Song just for you
And the things you do
I will sing what’s true
I love you

This is my stormy night song
Arms around you tight
Hold you through the night
Gotta do what’s right
I love you

This is my whole life long song
Song for your eyes
Never tell me lies
Cos I know I won the prize
I love you

TAKE IT TO THE MAX

Verse 1
I know what
Your life needs
I know what it lacks
Just for one
Day a week
Take it to the max

Verse 2
I don’t know
And I don’t care
If you learn the facts
But just one
Day a week
Take it to the max

Verse 3
Guess I know
People say
I ain’t got no tact
But just one
Day a week
Take it to the max

TAKE ME THERE AND SET ME FREE

I've always wanted
A girl like you
Someone who does
The things you do
But it aint fair
Oh can't you see
Take me there
Set me free


I've always needed
Love at night
Someone like you
To hold me tight
Can't get my share
What I see
Take me there
Set me free

Now you're here
Know what to do
Have no fear
I'm with you
I want my share
Give it to me
Take me there
Set me free

TEARS FOR THE DREAM THAT DIED

You ask me why I'm crying
You ask me to explain
How can I ever tell you
'Bout the slow evolving pain
I know you can't see
I know you haven't cried
Can't you see I'm crying
Tears for the dream that died

I see you by my bedside
I know you can't understand
You were always a dream to me
But I was only a one night stand
And now you are going to leave me
You don't know how I cried
Then you ask me why I call this
Tears for the dream that died

TELL HER I’M SORRY

Chorus
Tell her I’m sorry
For all the things I said
Tell her I love her
My altar is her bed

Verse 1
For so long now
My love for her
Has grown day by day
For so long now
I’ve held her tight
I’ll not go away

Verse 2
And now she’s gone
And I’m alone
I cry myself to sleep
Through nights so long
I can’t go on
I take but I can’t keep

Verse 3
I know you know
Where she has gone
Where she has gone to hide
Won’t you please go
And say to her
I’m sorry that I lied

TELL ME

Verse 1
Tell me
How do you do it
How do you do it
Look me in the eye
You can’t do it
Tell me
How do you do it
How do you do it
Say you love me
But you don’t mean it

Verse 2
Tell me
How did you do it
How did you do it
Said you loved me
But you didn’t mean
Tell me
How did you do it
How did you do it
Cried a tear
But you didn’t mean it

Verse 3
Tell me
How could you do it
How could you do it
Take my life
And walk right through it
How could you do it
How could you do it
But I’ll be here
When you come back
Again

TELL ME THE STORY

Tell me the story
The power and the glory
Tell me the story
One more time
Tell me you love me
Have no-one above me
Tell me you love me
Just one more time

Verse 2
Tell me you love me
Have no-one above me
Tell me you love me
One more time
Tell me your story
The power and the glory
Tell me your story
Just one more time

Verse 3
Tell me you’ll stay
Not go away
Tell me you’ll stay
By me tonight
Tell me today
I’ll not go away
Tell me you love me
Just one more time

THE DAYS OF OLD ARE OVER

Verse 1
Listen hard
To me
If you want to understand
Things
Are changing
All over this land
Those who
Have power
Have all grown old
We know
They have
Been sold for gold
But nights
Our friend
Hide what we do
We won’t
Take more
Of this stuff from you
The days of old are over

Verse 2
Hold me
Tonight
Whilst life’s wheel turns
Come now
With me
Watch the old world burn
We see
The mess
They’ve made of it all
Come now
With me
And help it to fall
I see
The light
Of life in your eye
Fight now
Fight hard
We’re too young to die
The days of old are over
